Followed "switch PHP-Nuke to SMTP" post, but I hav

Guest

I followed the HOWTO at http://www.nukecops.com/postlite19909-change+smtp.html to get my machine to use my SMTP host instead of whatever it uses now.

Despite a few errors in the HOWTO, I managed through, but now when registering a new user, when I click the Finish button, I get:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in /var/www/html/includes/smtp.php on line 78

Can someone tell me what's going on?

I'm using Mandrake Linux 9.2, Apache 2.0.47, mySQL 4.0.15, and PHP 4.3.2

you've prolly entered invalid server info or the server is rejecting the message

to see the error try adding

Code:

include("includes/functions.php");

right before

Code:

include("includes/smtp.php");

Now it says:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_pagestart() in /var/www/html/includes/functions.php on line 619

I've verified that the smtp server I'm using is good (I use it successfully for my normal e-mail client). I've also double checked my work as far as the HOWTO.

Any ideas?

well the just cause the server works for you, it may not work for your server -the problem here is we still dont know the real error since smtp.php uses phpbbs error reporting system and we cant see the error without initialing half of phpbb(easier said than done)

it'd be easier to just edit smtp.php to get the error out in the open

Code:

message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: $server_response", "", $line, __FILE__);

to

Code:

//message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: $server_response", "", $line, __FILE__);
echo $server_response

then well know what your server returned
btw, take out that include("includes/functions.php"); part

Ok!

Now we're getting somewhere:

Code:

553 5.5.4 ... Domain name required for sender address webmaster 503 5.0.0 Need MAIL before RCPT 503 5.0.0 Need MAIL command 500 5.5.1 Command unrecognized: "Subject: New User Account Activation"

That's definitely more informative!

FIXED!

In the HOWTO at:

Code:

/smtp email hack by Disgruntledtech
function email($user_email, $subject, $message, $headers){
global $board_config;
$board_config['smtp_host'] = "smtp.server.com";
$board_config['smtp_username'] = "username";
$board_config['smtp_password'] = "password";
$board_config['board_email'] = "whatever";
include("includes/smtp.php");
smtpmail($user_email, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

I actually need to put:

Code:

/smtp email hack by Disgruntledtech
function email($user_email, $subject, $message, $headers){
global $board_config;
$board_config['smtp_host'] = "smtp.server.com";
$board_config['smtp_username'] = "username";
$board_config['smtp_password'] = "password";
$board_config['board_email'] = "whatever@mydomain.com";
include("includes/smtp.php");
smtpmail($user_email, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

And I verified that I got e-mail at a hotmail address, so everything is great.

Some fixes/clarifications might be in order in the HOWTO.

I would recommend:

delete second instance of "/modules/Recommend_Us/index.php - line 54"
replace "/admin/modules/links.php - line 1125" with line 1090 instead.
mention that board_email must be set to a complete e-mail address.

I think that was all that I found.

Thanks again for your help disgruntledtech!

Damn, I thought I was done Confused

Registration e-mails are working fine, however, when attempting to send a newsletter:

Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare server_parse() (previously declared in /var/www/html/includes/smtp.php:66) in /var/www/html/includes/smtp.php on line 66

I really gotta learn PHP so I can figure out what that means...

Any ideas?

i'll look at that later -i bet newsletter calls email more than once -i'll have to add a check for that

Just a bump so I don't fall between the cracks.

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf

added line:

DS«your smtp server»

and it worked great!
